Buying and appt in Miami for family and airbnb

Hey real estate folks!

First of all, I'm from Argentina. In my country I have a construction company, about 20 properties, and I manage them myself, with the help of my administrative staff. I've been in the process of conducting some business in the US, unrelated to real estate. But I'll be travelling more and more to Miami. And I also want my family to come with me when the kids are on school break. So I've been thinking of buying and appt in a touristy area in Miami, have it managed to be rented on Airbnb, and be able to use it myself when I travel, or when I vacation with my family. While I know the real estate business in my country, I know very little about it in the US or in Miami. So here are my questions, I realize they are a lot but I'll apreciate any answer to any of them:

- Does this make good business sense? Will I be saving money as opposed to just renting an Airbnb myself when I need to? I'll be spending maybe 20 nights a year by myself in this place, and 20 more with my family of 4.
- Are Airbnb aptts profitable after taxes, expenses, maintenance, management fees, etc.? Am I looking at a break even situation, or can I make money with this?
- Is Miami a good market to invest at the moment?
- What are the common pitfalls for this kind of investment? should I as a foreigner take any extra or different precautions?

Thanks in advance for any help!

North Carolina – “One to Buy; Two to Sell”

I realize I will likely have to contact a real estate attorney but also hoping to hear insights and experiences from others! I have a house in NC that I bought by myself in 2009, and paid off, in full, in 2022. I got married in 2023. My spouse and I have not lived in the house as our "marital residence". We have maintained separate residences even after we got married. (That a separate topic!). I am now selling this house. Realtors have told us that my husband has to sign the deed at time of transfer but I am not convinced since the house has not been our marital residence. The realtors like to use the phrase "one to buy; two to sell", which seems like a broad-stroke statement which is not applicable under all circumstances. And of course, the realtors don’t realize the details of my specific circumstances: I purchased and paid for the house in full prior to marriage Only my name is on the deed And most importantly, we have never lived in the house as a marit...

Aren't comps/CMAs useless with buyer credits at close happening now?

I'm looking into buying a new construction townhouse in my HCOL US city. I'm seeing builders offering interest rate buydowns worth $20k-$60k on $800k homes (rather than just lowering prices) in order to keep their comps high for their other units, now that buyer demand has been declining. I asked my agent about these, and he said these buydowns aren't even the full story: buyers can write all kinds of other credits into an offer, like their closing costs, prepaid sewer fees, etc. Apparently cash buyers can just write in a "buyer credit at close" for any amount in their offer. So a new townhouse that appeared to sell for $800k in the MLS might have actually been a cash offer with a $100k+ buyer credit at close, meaning the buyer only spent $700k or less in total, but to the rest of the world they can only see the $800k! So that made me realize I can't trust comps/CMAs for other new construction townhouses. The sales prices could be way lower than they appear...
